PRODUCT DETAILS
Tosca ' s portfolio of IoTtraceable , reusable plastic assets is the most robust the market has to offer , including crates , pallets , bulk containers , dollies and more , design to :
Reduce shrink / product damage High-strength plastic protects products better than corrugated , preventing waste and reducing shrink .
Save on labour Straight-to-shelf design simplifies restocking .
Save space Foldable and stackable to maximise truck and store space .
Food safe With the highest food safety programme in the industry , containers protect products from harmful bacteria .
Support sustainability Prevents the waste of single-use containers with a reusable , recyclable alternative .
“ With multiple customers leveraging the same pool of assets , we all win . It makes it more efficient when we ' re all using those same things . And , because we are in the sustainability space , we do take it very seriously ,” Weinberg says .
Before allowing the inevitable question to be asked , Weinberg addresses the cleaning process and how this is not only a major step in reusing pallets and packages , but showcases the company ’ s environmental commitment through water reclamation .
When it comes to the end-of-life stage for pooling products , the materials are reintroduced into the manufacturing process by regrinding the plastics into a form that allows the material to be remade into new assets . The pooling products achieve a lifespan of around 10 to 15 years , as they “ sometimes get damaged to a point where they can ' t be reused for their intended purpose ”, according to Weinberg .
“ Then we recycle that as well . We work with firms that will carry out what they call regrinding — turning our crates into other things .”
Tackling supply chain disruptions and improving efficiencies When it comes to environmental commitments , Tosca seems to be ticking all the right boxes — which is what the company set out to achieve when it ventured into the realm of reusable products . But this has also paved the way for something much bigger : a solution that has the ability to provide its customers with more efficient ways of working and better use of data to overcome supply chain challenges .
This is where the organisation incorporates technology into the mix , creating a more advanced supply chain service that tracks product locations ,
